It was founded in 1980 by Pierluigi Talenti when he purchased the Pian di Conte farm, and is now run by his grandson Riccardo. The estate has about 21 hectares (52 acres) of extremely low-yielding vineyards. About 16 hectares (40 acres) of this is planted to the Sangiovese Grosso clone, with the remainder planted to a mix of indigenous and international varieties. At harvest, the grapes are hand-picked and sorted on a vibrating table. They are fermented in modern temperature-controlled stainless steel vats. The wines are aged in large casks made from either Slavonian or French oak. A proportion of smaller French oak barrels (barriques) is also used. Talenti makes a range of classic Montalcino wines – two Brunello di Montalcinos, a Brunello di Montalcino Riserva and a Rosso di Montalcino. In addition, Talenti has produced Trefolio, a Toscana IGT combining Sangiovese with Canaiolo and Syrah, and Rispollo, a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot. Current labels include Talenti Rosso, the white Wow and the Sangiovese-based rosé Oops – all Tuscan IGTs.
